Whole Body Vibration is Frequency Specific
When using a pivotal whole body vibration platform the safe frequencies recommended for the human
body range from 0-30 Hz. There are two variables which can be adjusted on a Whole Body Vibration
platform, the amplitude (the distance the platform travels in a vertical direction), and also the
frequency (the speed at which the platform cycles). By adjusting either of these two variables we also
change things such as, the number of times per second our muscles contract, the amount G force
exerted on our body, the degree of difficulty in stabilizing and the flow of blood through our body.
Research and common sense tell us that different frequencies will have different effects on our body.
Depending on what effects you are hoping to benefit from, will determine what frequency you should
run your machine.
